CC's success on 3 days rest was such a big story, but as we all know that was more than common in the dead ball era. Rube Waddell once pitched both ends of a double-header. He not only won them both but pitched shutout ball (and when Connie Mack asked if he could pitch game 2, Rube quipped, 'don't know, let me go warm up and I'll let you know how I feel)! This was in the middle of summer, mind you.
